Hearts thrash Hamilton with Haring double
Hearts came from behind as Peter Haring scored a double against Hamilton in the Premiership opener at the Hope Stadium.
The Accies started well, and when Aaron Hughes faltered in front of his own goal, Mickel Miller was able to tap home the opening goal.
Haring responded for Hearts, levelling with a looping header which dropped into the back of the net.
Naismith's penalty put Hearts in front after half-time, with the forward tripped by Alex Penny.
Haring and Steve MacLean added two more for the side.
Accies had opened up confidently, despite the League Cup exit being fresh in their mind.
The new artificial surface looked to be working in their favour, as they kept Hearts in their own half, topping it off with the opener.
Northern Ireland centre-half Hughes tried to shield the ball for keeper Zdenek Zlamal, but Miller was able to rush inbetween them and score.
Accies could only hold on to their lead for three minutes, as Hearts responded to the challenge.
Naismith set up Haring who socred his third goal since joining Hearts this summer.
Accies were looking vulnerable at the back for the remainder of the game, and MacLean's finish into the roof of the net settled the contest once and for all.
Final score: Accies 1-4 Hearts
